"El Bracero poignantly expresses the struggles encountered by fieldworkers to the audiences and honors their great contributions to the U.S.,” says Miguel Orozco, director and producer of the show.

ÁNIMO Theatre Company will be staging “El Bracero – A Mariachi Opera” at Ventura College on May 24that 7:30 p.m. to honor the legacy of migrant workers.  El Bracero was originally staged at Oxnard College three years ago and all of the shows were sold-out. This will be the final presentation of “El Bracero – A Mariachi Opera” in Ventura County.

Set in the 1950s at the height of the Bracero program, “El Bracero” is a dynamic one-act “Mariachi Opera” which fuses mariachi music, ballet folklorico, and powerful “opera” style set pieces.  “El Bracero” highlights the challenges and injustices workers faced in the U.S. and focuses on the bracero camps in the 1950s. “El Bracero” is both a cultural and educational experience that teaches an important part of Mexican-American history that is often overlooked.
 
“El Bracero poignantly expresses the struggles encountered by fieldworkers to the audiences and honors their great contributions to the U.S.,” says Miguel Orozco, director and producer of the show.
 
“El Bracero” was written by Rosalinda Verde from Visalia, CA and the Mariachi music in El Bracero is performed by Mariachi Águilas de J. Carlos Ozuna – one of the premiere mariachi ensembles in Southern California. Joining the production will be the Cal-Lutheran University Mariachi Program and the Inlakech Cultural Center.
 
Tickets for “El Bracero” are on sale at www.animotheatre.org, or by calling: (800) 838-3006. The play is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
